FSU Watch Party Sunday #1: 1991 Worlds part 2 [12pm CDT/6pm CET]

[SmallFairy]

This music + Jean Senft lecture = heaven

When Marina Kielmann is skating to this sort of music, I'm all in

 

[alchemy void]

This music sound a lot like some crazy cassette tapes we have with "Happy Hammond Melodies". One evergreen turns "seamlessly" into the next, with all sorts of wild rhythms

I'll see if I can dig something up for you!

 

[Aerobicidal]

Watching these ladies programs confirms what I've always suspected: I would have been a raging Tonya uber if I followed skating in the '90s.

(I'm kind of glad I didn't.)

 

[alchemy void]

I swear Tonya skated her SP twice as fast as Kristi.

 

[aliceanne]

Kristi + Latin music = no

 

[SmallFairy]

Kristi + Latin music = no

Agree. And the dress didn't scream latin either.

 

[alchemy void]

"she isn't exactly a spectacular skater, but she's a perfect skater"

LOL Barb and Paul virtually calling her Canadian at this point

 

[SmallFairy]

What's with the 90ies dresses being so wide open in front? (I know there's mesh, but still...)

 

[meggonzo]

Tonya should have won the short!!!

 

[Aerobicidal]

Tonya was ROBED!!!!!!!!! I would of boycotted this event and started a Change.org petition if I cared about skating in 1991!!!!!!

 

[alchemy void]

Okay men's LP now

No Barb, Paul, and Jean intro.

 

[meggonzo]

Wasn't expecting a deep V from Elvis

 

[SmallFairy]

Elvis is quite short, and so athletic, he shouldn't cover himself in all those fabrics!

 

[Aerobicidal]

Elvis should have waited and only worn onesies after he grew to over five foot zero.

 

[alchemy void]

The correct SP standings:

Tonya 5.9/5.8
Midori 5.7/5.9
Kristi 5.7/5.8

 

[SmallFairy]

Perfect quad!
Oh dear, now he's trying to turn into Todd Eldredge. Good thing the quad is already done.

[SmallFairy]

Eh....ok....

[alchemy void]

Shake it daddy!

 

[SmallFairy]

Ouch, not a good camel position. Here comes Happy Hammond Computer!

 

[meggonzo]

The correct SP standings:

Tonya 5.9/5.8
Midori 5.7/5.9
Kristi 5.7/5.8

Um, 2 of the judges gave Tonya 5.9 for presentation. Just sayin!

Subtle Todd snark

 

[SmallFairy]

Is this the competition where Urmanov is doing a quad too? Or was that later?

 

[SmallFairy]

Subtle Todd snark

Always!

Um, 2 of the judges gave Tonya 5.9 for presentation. Just sayin!

I had to pretend I was leaving room for other skaters.

 

[meggonzo]

Misskarne probably would called that quad underrotated

 

[Aerobicidal]

Elvis Stojko: first quad in combination
Brandon Mroz: first homologated quad Lutz
Alina Zagitova: first Olympic ladies FP with all jumps in the bonus

All innovators. All unwatchable.

 

[alchemy void]

Is that Paul still orgasming over Elvis?

 

[Aerobicidal]

Lord honey, this program is emptier than the refrigerators at Eteri's rink.
